Ingredients

• 1 package puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams dark chocolate
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 handful sprinkles or nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to about 1/8-inch thick if necessary.

Step 3

Cut the puff pastry into equal rectangular strips, approximately 2 inches wide and 4 inches long.

Step 4

Transfer the cut pastry strips to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 5

In a small bowl, beat together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush a little amount onto the pastry strips to help them brown.

Step 6

Sprinkle a light dusting of granulated sugar over the brushed pastries for additional sweetness.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

While the pastries are cooling, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.

Step 10

Once completely melted, stir in the butter and vanilla extract until smooth and shiny.

Step 11

Dip each cooled pastry into the melted chocolate, coating halfway or fully as desired. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.

Step 12

Place the chocolate-covered pastries onto a parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with nuts or sprinkles if using.

Step 13

Refrigerate the pastries for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Step 14

Serve the chocolate-covered pastries at room temperature and enjoy!
